This is the urgency: Live! and have your blooming in the noise of the whirlwind.
Writing is a delicious agony.
Life for my child is simple, and is good.
I shall create! If not a note, a hole./If not an overture, a desecration.
Good health is a duty to yourself, to your contemporaries, to your inheritors, to the progress of the world.
I swear to keep the dead upon my mind, / Disdain for all time to be overglad.
